Leaves

Leaves is a simple way to present a page-turning interface similar to Apple's iBooks. It comprises two classes, LeavesView and LeavesViewController, and occupies less than 100 kB compiled. It uses only public APIs, sacrificing a portion of iBooks' visual flair to ensure that your application is safe for submission to the App Store.

Leaves supports:

Text, images, PDFs -- anything that can be rendered in a graphics context

Drag or tap to turn the page

iPad- and iPhone-sized display areas

Leaves does not currently support:

Interactive elements on the page

Swipe gestures

Two-page landscape view

Leaves requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later.

Installation

Add the files in the Leaves subdirectory to your Xcode project and ensure that you are linking against QuartzCore.framework.

Getting Started

Creating a page-turning interface is as simple as subclassing LeavesViewController:

For more sophisticated examples, build the Xcode project included with Leaves.

Notes

The best way to get an answer to your question about programming with Leaves is the Leaves Developers mailing list, which I keep an eye on. But if you find a bug, be sure to visit the tracker or message me directly.
